... sea. We find our motel, having driven past a<br>sign telling us San Simeon has a population of 442... Pretty much<br>nothing going on here! Drove to the next biggest town, Cambria for<br>lunch, this town actually had some shops and a petrol station! The<br>petrol station also had vacuums so we took advantage of this and<br>cleaned the inside of the car ready for returning ...

... gotten a late start, but it is just such a great ride. The fog was starting to creep in, so we headed back towards Morro, stopping wherever the camera urge struck.<br> We stopped in Cayucos, the little town just north of Morro Bay. It is a more developed town with tons of antique outlets. You could wander for quite a while in the stores. But we just strolled around the town and headed back to Morro as the sun was starting to dip and ...

... is at the southern end of the bay, and usually I have stayed at the northern end.<br> The hotel is three stories tall with the ground floor being covered parking. We had our choice of parking places. There is a small standing balcony with a nice view of the bay and rock. The room is nice size, with a refrigerator and microwave. Across the hall is the breakfast room which we will sample in the morning. Nice for us, they have an ...

... had given us a voucher for a free meal at a posh restaurant called Madeline's. The food was very good and the chef came out and spoke to us for a while. A nice way to end our visit to Cambria. We returned back to the house to pack up, so we would be ready to leave early in the morning for the Santa Barbara mountains. We had booked to spend the next few nights staying in a Yurt on an eco-resort, we were so excited and more than ready for a bit of adventure....!

... we head for LA-hollywood to be exact.it will be another full day of driving. just before this place, we saw sea lions on the beach, heaps of them. and the seals on pier 39 well that was something else! 100's of them all trying to get on not enough pontoons. we had a lovely 1 hour Bay cruise by the way, the fog had lifted by then so we had a good view of everything(that was yesterday as we were too late for ...

... party was Lake San-Antonio (or San-Antonio reservoir), which is a small park just in the middle of the way between San-Francisco and L.A. It's a 4.5 hours of driving from San-Francisco. It's a long drive, and I decided to make it even longer by making a stops every hour or so.

... br>left and right. The town of Solvang is a Danish culture community with<br>many shops, bakeries, and art galleris. The town's buildings are built<br>in the design which is set to remind you of Denmark. We visited one of<br>the bakeries here and sampled some of their delicious pastries and did<br>some shopping. We then headed on to Santa Barbara and walked along the<br>ocean and pier, Santa Barbara is a very pretty location.

... different ;-). No it's like waterskiing but with a board. There's a robe attached to the boat and you hold on to it while on the board. Then you get pulled out which is what I found out the easier part if you are small and light. The first one to go into the water was Mark's friend Tim(my). He showed us how it looks when you know how to do it. So he also did some tricks. Then Thomas tried to do it. He had some trouble ...

... photos as the Castle comes into view. We disembark, and the tour guide starts his presentation on the lower patio. I've seen castles and beautiful homes before but this is unbelievable what vision and committment to a project can accomplish. This is just part of what we experienced from the "outside looking in". http://www.hearstcastle.org/tours/tour_ 1.asp I can't imagine how guests could adapt so quickly to this opulent lifestyle during their brief stays ...

... Satan bush, maybe not gibberish :-)to bring about the end of the world, he started quoting scripture, Dali Lama (so he claims),eastern philosophy and Tesla! So I thought time to stick some music on the Jukebox, so I asked him was there anything he liked to hear, he replied some Rolling Stones, so I put on "Symathy For The Devil" and my own little tribute to him "The Verves - The drugs don't work no more", so he babbled away for a bit insisted that we place beer mats over our ...
